Bordisms between 9d type IIB supergravities and commutator widths of duality groups
Camilo las Heras, Ignacio Ruiz
We study the topological properties of bordisms interpolating between different 9d gauged supergravities obtained from compactification of type IIB string theory on …
QM2-branes and the Swampland Distance Conjecture in nine dimensions
MarÃa Pilar GarcÃa del Moral, Camilo las Heras, Alvaro Restuccia
We discuss the relationship between the Swampland program and QM2-branes, which are supersymmetric M2-branes with discrete spectrum. The worldvolume description of these M2-branes…
Torsion in M2-brane theory
Maria Pilar Garcia del Moral, Camilo las Heras, Alvaro Restuccia
We determine the role of torsion in the local and global geometrical description of M2-branes with fluxes and parabolic monodromies. The monodromy corresponds to a representation o…
F-theory with hyperelliptic fibrations
E. Ballico, E. Gasparim, M. P. GarcÃa del Moral +1
We discuss the role of hyperelliptic fibrations in F-theory. For each even integer we give a noncompact Calabi--Yau threefold containing a hyperelliptically fibered surface…
